slight differences in individual trees.  From Catonsville Av.  I
turned into the road (Carman R'd) leading to Avalon.  Growing on Mr. T. Smith's
place, close to the road, I found my second find of the day.
The plant was noticed on former occasions but not being
<s>it</s> in flower I could not determine it.  To-day, it was 
in flower and I saw at once that I had another spurge
to deal with.  The plant grew on an average 12 in. high and covered
the ground in large patches; the stems were covered with
long linear leaves so closely arranged that they appeared verticillate.
I determined it to be Euphorbia Cyparissias - the Cypress
spurge, a very good name for the plant looks as if it were
made up of so many pieces of Cypress Vina.  From Smith's, I
crossed to Glenartney, went under the culverts and proceeded
a short distance towards Avalon, here grows Gonolobus obliquus
quite a pretty climbing milkweed with prickly fruit.  It has large
opposite heart-shaped leaves.  The flowers are in clusters, dark
purple and have a sweet odor.  The plant is found in several
stations along this road.  After collecting a few specimens, I
proceeded toward Orange Grove following the road.  Immediately
beyond the culvert at the Vineyard on the left side of the road
